The closing days of time will be unprecedented in the scope of trial that they will impose upon believers and indeed, statistics evidence the fact that there has been more persecution of Christians in the past century than in all previous centuries.
Yet, in the face of this disconcerting information and with the threat of even more tribulation to come, out faith is to remain steadfast, our hope is to remain sure, our expectation is to remain unwavering--for Christ is still the victory that overcomes the world (see I John 5:4, 5).
The evil one may rage in the last days; his onslaught against believers may intensify because he knows his time is short but, "They who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint," Isaiah 40:31.
When the challenges of life are inordinate, when testings and trials swirl like torrential winds around people of faith, even then they are equipped to stand strong in the Lord and in the power of His might, Ephesians 6:10. Even then, they are victorious, for the foe is defeated. Calvary's cross stands against all wickedness.
Believers stand at the foot of the cross and are saved.
